Traffic is such a great film. Probably Soderbergh's best.

I voted for Traffic. For sure.

And for The Hangover. I'd say in the last 20 years, The Hangover and Tropic Thunder are the only two Hollywood pure comedies I'd classify as "top notch." Comedy is soooo hard...and I'm a tough critic. But these two films check all the right boxes for comedy.

Traffic is brilliant filmmaking. Very sad the there is no love for it. A stunning achievement. Soderbergh's best.

I have to revisit Traffic. I remember watching it in a hotel room in Las Vegas back in 2001. I think I fell asleep a few times and I'm not sure if I finished it. Yes, while people are partying in Vegas, I'm watching movies.

I voted for No Country and Black Hawk Down. I've unfortunately never seen Traffic and The Hangover never clicked for me.
